DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, MAY 20, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Here comes the reshuffling of
your deck of priorities, a process
outside of your control, followed
by the giddy anticipation as the
cards are being dealt. What will
you get? It matters but not as
much as how you play what you
get.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
With multitudes clamoring for
attention, the one who doesn’t
seem to want any becomes
accidentally alluring. They will
wonder about your private
life and inner world that is so
compelling that publicity is
unwelcome.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Al-
lowing yourself to get distracted
will drain your precious energy
unless those distractions are so
quality they inspire you. You’ll
know immediately. Unless you
get hit by a “wow” factor, keep
moving along.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Paying attention to a prob-
lem doesn’t necessarily lead
to its solution. Instead, stay fo-
cused on what you want. As you
keep moving toward that pretty
picture, life starts to assemble it
before your eyes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
may not feel qualified to assume
the position you are being asked
to fill, but they think you have
what it takes, and they’re right.
You’ll gain skills along the way.
Just say yes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You have a reputation for being
extremely capable — the kind
of person who appears in a crisis
and fixes everything with brisk
elan. That said, don’t make it a
habit to fix for the same person
repeatedly; teach instead.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). With
people around to show you how
a thing is done, the plus is that
you can skip over a lot of poten-
tially embarrassing trial and error.
The minus is that you won’t know
what you might have invented
through failing on your own.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How
deftly you’ll navigate the paradox
represented in this day: Now is
the only moment. And yet, noth-
ing good happens without some
degree of delayed gratification.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’re carrying more than you
know. It’s like your mind has
pockets you haven’t checked in
a while. Go through, gather up
the useless and dated ideas, and
then release them to the trash.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A
person need not infringe, intrude
or invade your space in any way
in order to strike a chord at the
very heart of you. The strings ring
out with sympathetic resonance
when you witness the emotional
tone you know so very well.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The skill of compartmentaliza-
tion is a complement to so many
areas of life. Just be sure, every
once in a while, to remind your-
self what’s folded and tucked
away. Today’s success depends
on such a check-in.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Your past experience matters
less than the way people are
experiencing you now. You will
open doors with your social
skills and confident demeanor.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
20). This year’s mood in one
word: inspired. There’s a fire
in you, lit by ideas and people
taking life in a dazzling direc-
tion. You give that same fire to
others, just by being in pursuit
of your passion. Your welcoming
ways will start a new wave of
social fun. A group forms and
this could even develop into a
team or movement. Cancer and
Gemini adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 25, 3, 10 and 7.
